I think everyone should stop accusing the OP of being fake. Surely it is much better to ignore the thread completely or take him seriously in case he
is being serious?
And if he is joking and taking us all for a ride, then personally, I'd rather have been made a fool of like that than to have brought negativity into the thread in the event that he was being serious.
And having read an article like
this before, I would definitely think twice before replying to such a message to accuse them of being fake.
